Sensors deployed in remote locations provide unprecedented amounts of data, but powering these sensors over long periods remains a challenge. In this paper, we develop and present a UAV-based wireless power transfer system. We discuss design considerations and present our system that allows a UAV to fly to remote locations to charge hard to access sensors. We analyze the impact of different mat...

In this study, the power transfer principle and resonant topology selection method of wireless system are explained. The magnetizing inductance mutual models, which representative modeling methods for representing magnetic coupling between transmitting receiving coils in systems, analyzed; additionally, differences two Furthermore, active reactive analyzed detail using model; based on this, tra...

In this paper, three-dimensional incompressible laminar fluid flow in a rectangular microchannel heat sink (MCHS) using Al2O3/water nanofluid as a cooling fluid is numerically studied. CFD prediction of fluid flow and forced convection heat transfer properties of nanofluid using single-phase and two-phase model (Eulerian-Eulerian approach) are compared. Hydraulic and thermal performance of microch...

Heat transfer plays an important role in thermoelectric (TE) power generation because the higher the heat-transfer rate from the hot to the cold side of the TE material, the higher is the generation of electric power. However, high heat-transfer rate is difficult to achieve compactly when the hot and/or the cold sources are maintained by a flow of gas such as waste heat from the gas exhaust of ...

Microwaves have typically been used for communications and radar, but nowadays are given much attention to energy transfer applications. This paper describes microwave power transfer from a satellite to Earth that is visualized as a solar power satellite system (SPSS). After the system configuration is explained, unique engineering features are presented. Then, some contributions made by Japane...

This paper reports on the design of multidimensional wireless power distribution using cellular concept, Helmholtz coils and cubical node design with power transmission capability over a distance of 6 m. To provide strong and uniform power delivery along the power transfer link axis, pairs of Helmholtz coils which are capable of creating uniform magnetic fields are used. To distribute wireless ...
